Mishin has been heavily criticizing about Liza's weight, she must have probably listened

As far as I remember Mishin never said anything bad about Liza's weight, he said she goes through a tough time because of puberty and body changes which are normal for a girl at her age. Anyway I am really happy for how she skated today and I like that she is developing her own style, quite different from the baby ballerina type

No, Mishin mentioned on many interviews, Liza is going through a tough time becoming a girl to a woman and mentioned of her gaining weight
imo, part of the reason they replaced Tuk's SP is balletic music usually she does terrible and shows her weakness
she looks most comfortable in Tango not balletic and princess type music

The jumps weren't there for Leonova, but she really performs the heck out of her program and she's got a lot of speed on the rest of the field as well. I actually enjoyed Korobeynikova the most, though. Can't believe Makarova is in 12th - well, I can believe it based on what she put on the ice, but it's weird. She's really sunk down the standings in the last couple of years.

I really like Pogorilaya, too! I'm happy that the young girls are doing well today, finally! The question now is: if Makarova skates clean, will she be in top 3 with easier technical elements? (Except Sotnikova, yes) Liza: I hope she works on her spins, though: the layback is still performed with a horrible basic position, and the CCoSp should have been a level 3, since she didn't hold the camel variation for two full revolutions after reaching the position.

Liza's layback is never going to be her strongest element - she has said (even before this past season) that the layback spin hurts her back

I absolutely hate Leonova's SP.
Oh Skating Gods please don't let her go to Euros or Worlds
On a side note I liked how Sakhanovich spaced out all her jumps instead of making her program jump heavy early on.
